Wow, this is a bit confusing. I don't even know where to start. But I chose the class discussion of page 109 and hopefully I can explain my point to view to the rest of the group.
From a scientific point of view, I understand how the authors use biology to explain consciousness. It is the cells of the body that allows memories to occur. The authors talked about how the mind can remember a face by firing neuron cells. It stated that the “neurons help the brain represent the face …” To me, this means that neurons enable us to memory faces but understand the different angle and depth of the curve of everyone’s face. Okay, our cells allow us to remember things but this does not fully explain how consciousness
There is a more to human’s consciousness then remembering. Yes, we remember the lessons learned from mistakes made but is memories the only thing that human’s consciousness is all about. If there is something that we have not learned from previous experience how do we decide what’s right from wrong. Some might use faith to explain their decision. If this was the case, then how do we explain this biologically? It is impossible to explain human consciousness. Yes, conscious does associate with the brain but there are things that can’t be explained biologically.
